The German counterpart to the American M2 Bradley, the LAV-12 is specifically designed for Arctic combat, but with some basic modifications, can fight anywhere.
More heavily armed and armored that the Bradley, the LAV-12 is considered a more capable platform. Here you can best see the tread design, 4 independent treads for snow.
The door to the inside is even more heavily armored than most of the LAV-12 to give occupants extra protection.
Inside.
Driver's compartment, the driver controls the LAV-12 and an automated targeting system moves the gun and (with permission from the driver) engages targets.
Pew, pew, pew! Able to go toe-to-toe with some light tanks, the LAV-12 is a great infantry support weapon.

If this chassis looks familiar, it's because its the same as the Abrams'. This is actually accurate as the chassis and gun are the same in real life.
I enjoyed experimenting with different ways to do the frontal armor. I love the shape of the Leopard II and wanted to do it justice. I'm about 85% on the shaping and will probably upload a version 2 (technically version 4)
I think the turret's a bit short but it looks pretty good.
The rear is pretty basic, I couldn't find any good picture of the real one, so I took artistic liberty.
Parting shot. Lol, pun. Overall, I'm satisfied with it. I plan on doing a bricklink order to get the parts to build a second tank. If you have a favorite, leave a comment and I will consider it.
